Encourage understanding (drawing pictures):
Brainstorm with the children things they do that have an order to them, such as tying a shoe or getting ready for bed. Explain that in the scriptures we learn that Jesus created the earth in a certain order. Divide the children into six groups and give each group a scripture reference describing one day of the Creation (see Moses 2). Ask each group to draw pictures of their day. Have them show their pictures to the other children and tell them what was created on that day. Invite the children to place the pictures in the correct order on
the board.

Encourage application (playing with dough or drawing):
Ask the children, “What is one thing Jesus created that is important to you?”
Give each child a small amount of salt dough (see TNGC, 165, for a salt dough recipe).
Let the children use the dough to make the creation that is important to them. (If salt dough is not available, the children could draw a picture of it instead.)
Have the children share in their class groups what they have made or drawn and why it is important to them. Sing “My Heavenly Father Loves Me” ( CS, 228–29).
